Berlin - A City Divided is an Anthology of five biographies, told in Comic Book form, that recount the rise (albeit, construction) and fall of the Berlin Wall, seemlessly collected in a feature-length Graphic Novel. The Book's layout is flawless, each first-hand story/biography is separated and teathered to the next by an educational epilogue; allowing the stories to act as one continuum that tells the story of the Wall through differing, individual experiences.
The Artwork and Graphic Design is just beautiful, tackled by both Susanne Buddenberg and Thomas Henseler; the Artwork is a striking Black and Grey, full of realism and great perspective, marked by its stunningly subtle shading.
The stories are moving, heart-wrenching and, in the case of the Holzapfels whom ziplined to freedom, even just amazing; and the creative team clearly put extensive effort in to their research for the Artwork adds to the whole thing, with realism on the Wall's scale, building placements and even floor plans that help us to easily get to grips with the risks and dangers these people undertook in attempting to flee over the Wall or help others too.
